During a recent government meeting, the commission addressed several administrative items, including the appointment of members to the Board of Adjustment and the approval of a special event resolution.

The commission unanimously approved the appointment of Charles Cameron and Leon McCray to the Board of Adjustment for three-year terms, expiring December 31, 2026. The appointments were made by zone, with Cameron representing Zone 1 and McCray representing Zone 3. Commissioner Reed expressed gratitude to Devon Morris for his application, encouraging him to consider other available board positions.

In another significant discussion, the commission reviewed a resolution for the 11th Annual Battle of the Babes Music Festival, scheduled for October 12-13, 2024, at Main Street Station. However, the approval process faced challenges due to incomplete paperwork. Staff indicated that the event could not be administratively approved because of a land development code provision that restricts special events close to major events like Biktoberfest.

The commission emphasized the need for a complete site plan and other documentation to ensure public safety and compliance with regulations. The approval of the Battle of the Babes event is contingent upon the submission and review of these materials by staff, highlighting the importance of thorough planning for successful event execution.
